Is Gmail being balky for anyone else this morning?
Oh good, not just me.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hivemind help-- very patrician, WASP-y sounding name for a woman who would've been in her 40s/early 50s circa 1965.
I don't think this helps, but it's interesting to me to realize that Tracy Lord from The Philadelphia Story would have been about that age. (In her 20s in the 1940 movie.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just got a coworker all of the cooking utensils off her registry because the only other things left that I could afford were like literally one wine glass. (The affordable ones had already been purchased...)
I am positive she wants that stuff too! That's a good gift!
Mickey Rourke is a hot ticket right now. He's getting Oscar buzz for The Wrestler.

Phew! I just couldn't bring myself to buy them one sheet. (Even though other people had already gotten the flat sheet and the pillow cases. One fitted sheet is not a present!)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I figure if it's on the registry I shouldn't think too hard about how gifty it seems. It's hard, though. But Marc swears every time they have pie he thinks of me. Damned expensive pie lifter thingy, that was.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have things I should be doing this morning, but I'm too busy hating the world.

I just got a mislabeled sandwich at Au Bon Pain. What I got was fine, but it was not what I wanted! I sent them an email -- we'll see what they give me.

Because books.

I find that can take up most of a Monday.

This is weird. I'm working with a man--I presume--named Sambo. By the last name, he probably wasn't born in this country. I have no idea how old he is, naturally, so I'm just assuming that the word Sambo has none of the cultural baggage it does here. I'm glad I'm not talking to him on the phone, because I don't know if I could call him Sambo without stumbling over it. How odd to have a name which is probably perfectly normal where he comes from but whic makes some people twitch where he lives now.
